Robinson Cano and the Code

Robinson Cano, the second baseman of the Seattle Mariners, has been suspended for 80 games for taking illegal drugs.  So, he now becomes another name in the list of “cheaters.”  He not only has lost his reputation but probably his likely inclusion in the Hall of Fame.  Voters don’t like cheaters.   Some commentators have wondered how a veteran like Cano could be so foolish; others have said they weren’t surprised as they have seen how his body has changed over the years.  Some think he should be banned from baseball.  The Code says “I will compete within the spirit and letter of the rules of my sport.” What do you think the punishment should be for those who violate drug policy in your school or college for the first offense?  Second?  What about professional athletes?
